In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a shooting incident unfolded in the parking lot of the Montello Station on Spark Street in Brockton, Massachusetts, leaving three people injured. According to police reports, the incident occurred at approximately 3:13 a.m.

Investigations reveal that over two dozen individuals had gathered in the parking lot for a car meetup when gunshots erupted. Eyewitnesses reported that moments later, two dark-colored SUVs swiftly left the scene.

Two of the victims, a man and a woman, were dropped off at a nearby hospital, while the third victim was taken to another hospital by ambulance. Thankfully, officials have confirmed that all three victims are currently in stable condition.

Aileen Hayes, an employee at Montilio's Bakery located next to the MBTA parking lot, recounted the alarming events. Bakery drivers, who were in close proximity, initially mistook the gunshots for fireworks due to the presence of a group of teenagers. However, they soon realized the severity of the situation when one of the drivers attempted to assist injured individuals. One victim was quickly placed in a car and rushed to the hospital.

Law enforcement authorities, including the Transit Police, Brockton police officers, and detectives, are actively investigating the incident. They are urging anyone with information regarding the shooting to contact the Brockton detectives at 508-941-0234.

The safety and security of the public remain a top priority, and authorities are diligently working to gather all relevant details surrounding the incident. As the investigation progresses, updates on the case are expected to be released in the near future.
